Degradation of temporal contrast from post-pedestal interference with a chirped pulse in an optical parametric amplifier
OPTICS EXPRESS(2024)
摘要
Pre-pedestal generation is observed in a 0.35-PW laser front end coming from a post-pedestal via instantaneous gain and pump depletion in an optical parametric amplifier during chirped-pulse amplification. Generalized simulations show how this effect arises from gain nonlinearity and applies to all optical parametric chirped-pulse-amplification systems with a post-pedestal. An experiment minimizing the effect of B -integral is used to isolate and study the newly observed conversion of a continuous post-pedestal into a continuous pre-pedestal. Matching numerical simulations confirm experimental results and additionally reveal how third-order dispersion largely controls the slope of the generated pre-pedestal.
